We are thrilled to invite advisors, faculty, program coordinators, and staff from all departments and academic faculties at Humber and the University of Guelph-Humber. Additionally, we are excited to welcome guests from other post-secondary institutions.

Join us as we explore, share, and learn about student success strategies, essential skills, and the pivotal issues that will shape the future of higher education. Don't miss out on this opportunity to be part of the conversation.

Humber & University of Guelph-Humber Library (Library) is working on a new Library Vision & Action Plan, and we want to hear from you. What do you want your Library experience to look like and feel like? What role do you see the Library playing in Humber’s, UofGH’s, and your success?

Help us create the North Star that will guide the Library’s future by joining us at one or all of our three consultation sessions:

1. Resources & Curriculum Support: The Library plays a critical role in the provision of resources to support learning and development. How might that role evolve and better support your learning and development needs?
   Join the virtual discussion on May 20 from 1 to 2 p.m.
    
2. Technological Innovations: Traditionally libraries have been associated with physical spaces and books. Today, they are much, much more, offering virtual access, digital resources, makerspaces, that link students and staff to new technologies and foster digital fluency and employability skills. How do you see the Library’s role in leveraging new technologies in higher education? How might the Library use technology to improve access to its resources and services? 
   Join the virtual discussion on May 12 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
    
3. Partnership Innovations: The Library works collaboratively across Humber Polytechnic and the University of Guelph-Humber to provide a wide variety of services and supports to Faculties and departments. How might the Library’s role evolve to facilitate cross-disciplinary knowledge exchange and strengthen the work of faculties/departments?
   Join the virtual discussion on May 14 from 12 to 1 p.m.

Can’t make the session but want to share your thoughts? Look out for an online form that we will circulate in Communiqué.

Thank you for building our future with us. Your suggestions will help Humber refine our role and current practices and develop new initiatives.

The University of Guelph-Humber in collaboration with Science Rendezvous and Let’s Get Together invite the community to join the fun and innovate on Saturday, May 10 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Join us at this FREE one-day, all-ages, family festival that celebrates STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math).

On May 10, the country’s biggest STEAM festival, Science Rendezvous, will be hosted in at the University of Guelph-Humber at Humber's North Campus along with other locations across Canada. Participants can explore an exciting line-up of interactive demonstrations, hands-on science experiments, presentations, and more. Parking is free.

This family festival takes STEAM out of the lab and into the community for everyone of all ages to discover and experience. Science Rendezvous is uniquely designed and coordinated by Canada’s scientists, innovators, and the next generation of creators.

Activities:

Event highlights this year include interactive activities exploring science, engineering, and technology. Come solve a crime with a virtual crime scene using VR equipment facilitated by the University of Guelph-Humber’s Justice Studies program. Explore the anatomy and function of the human body in our interactive displays and compare them to the anatomy of a computer. Find out how high you can jump and learn about physical fitness assessments with the Kinesiology program. Learn about optical illusions and the human brain through interactive activities led by the Psychology program. Join in an opportunity to learn about nature, trees and plant life with guided tours at Humber’s Arboretum. Come explore the skies beyond in an immersive experience organized by Astronomy in Action in an indoor planetarium. This year we are very excited to also be welcoming the Ontario Science Centre. 

Join the Ontario Science Centre experts for exciting live demonstrations and fun hands-on activities! Use the power of friction and sound waves to make water “sing,” build a simple circuit with conductive and insulating playdough, or create an optical illusion that demonstrates persistence of vision.
